Hirotsugu Kijima (49), president of a news analysis company, has announced his candidacy for the gubernatorial election and announced the policies he will advocate in the election campaign. Kijima, who was previously an employee of Recruit and is currently president of a news analysis company, ran in the House of Representatives election held on the 27th in the Hyogo 1st district, but lost. At a press conference held on the 29th, Kijima said that while he supports the reform policy of former Governor Saito, he will further accelerate it, and will put forward the idea of merging Osaka and Hyogo into a "Kansai state." In addition, he pledged to reorganize the prefecture's areas of "Tajima," "Tamba," "Harima," and "Awaji" into four cities, excluding the areas between Kobe and Hanshin, and transfer authority to them. Kijima also expressed the view that there is no need to immediately reorganize the municipalities between Kobe and Hanshin. Other candidates who have announced their candidacy for the gubernatorial election include former governor Motohiko Saito (46), doctor Yoshikiyo Osawa (61) endorsed by the Communist Party, former Amagasaki mayor Kazumi Inamura (51), House of Councilors member Takayuki Shimizu (50), record company manager Shigeyuki Fukumoto (58), and political group leader Takashi Tachibana (57). 📒For the latest news, please visit our website: https://www.sun-tv.co.jp/suntvnews/ne...
